I am glad to see the Pruitt list so active again. I am still looking for information/evidence of Elisha Pruett(Pruitt) in Ohio. I have record of Elisha in Greene Co., Ohio (SugarCreek TWP) in the early 1800's. Believe he arrived about 1804. A Greene Co. History lists him as deceased in 1811, although I have a copy of his will that indicates that he died approximately April 1819. Elisha Pruett was married to Esther (Hester) Parnell in September 22, 1808 in neighboring Warren Co., Ohio. In other documentation found, I have found a George Parnell in the same area, which I believe to be Esther's brother. If my suspicions are correct, the Parnell's are part of the Quaker group that came from Cane Creek, SC (Union Co.) to Caesar's Creek, (Warren Co.) Ohio in the early 1800's. Could Elisha Pruett also be from the SC area? Elisha and Hester Pruett had 4 or 5 children. Elisha's will says ".... one hundred dollars which I will to my four children herein named that is to say, to my son David Twenty five dollars, and to my daughter Sarah Twenty five dollars and to my daughter Elizabeth twenty-five dollars, and to my son James twnety-five dollars to be paid to each of them as the shall come of age;" A separate family record (unconfirmed) lists the children as: Sarah b. 1812, David b. 1814, Elizabeth (Betsy) b. 1815, James b 1818, & Elisha b. 1821. My 2g-grandfather was their son James, who moved to Indiana and was strongly involved in the Quaker church there. All generations of my Pruitt family since have been Quakers. Also, I have found James' sister Elizabeth in Quaker records marrying a Charles Wilson. Looking for any and all information on Elisha Pruett. Trisha Wilson [email protected]
